We have had gerbils (one who had 3 broken legs) only take about 3-4 weeks
till they were walking with barely any limp at all........

Aaron, my boyfriend, and I both hear this quite often (he is 26 and I am
24). I even have to admit that when he told me that he wanted gerbils that I
thought "isn't that a pet for a little kid?". I admit now that gerbils are
an awesome pet for someone of any age. I just wish that ppl realized that
gerbils are good for anyone and everyone who wants a pet :)
